Chorus / Description :
How long? How long?
When will the daughters of Zion rejoice
In the house of the Lord?
When will Your justice roll down?
When will Your kingdom come?
And evil be undone?
When will the wicked kneel?
And the abused be healed?
When will our sisters speak
with no more shame or fear?
How long? How long?
When will the daughters of Zion rejoice
In the house of the Lord?
Out of miry clay
We will rise up someday
Sorrow won't always last
The dark will surely pass,
Woe to the wicked ones
For what their hands have done,
God is a righteous judge
And He will raise us up.
How long? How long?
When will the daughters of Zion rejoice
In the house of the Lord?
Let Your justice roll down
Let Your justice roll down
Let Your justice roll down
Let Your justice roll down
Let Your justice roll down
Let Your justice roll down
Let Your justice roll down
Let Your justice roll down
Let Your justice roll down
How long? How long?
When will the daughters of Zion rejoice
In the house of the Lord?
Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.
Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee; he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
